I understand that everyone needs to do their own learning and experience the subject of the BB.

My questions is about questions that pertain to the “reporting” of the experience.

Is it ok to open a new thread for all the questions, maybe post questions on the BB thread, or maybe in the one for the general theme, like “Pep nest” for instance, or any other place/way to ask them.

And is it ok to offer help to someone to complete a BB, virtual or any other way. Or is it each person for themselves?

I have always just posted question in the BB itself.

I'm not staff, and so not qualified to give an answer about helping someone with a BB, but I can give my opinion.  I think it is fine to give someone advice, answer questions, even demonstrate how to do something, but I think to get credit, the person doing the BB needs to do 100% of the hand's on work themselves.  For instance, I don't see a problem with teaching a person how to pick up a log with a grapple and set it in place.  In my mind, the problem would be if I demonstrated doing it, and put the log in place on the actual project the other person was attempting to get a BB on.  Again, just my opinion, and the way I would do it if it were my decision.

I've asked questions in the thread.  I figure if I have the question, someone else probably has that same question.  Staff has been accommodating to it.  IMHO, this works as long as the thread doesn't get clogged up with a hundred questions and one submission for BB.

I've asked questions on the thread too but I feel perhaps it might be neater if there was a separate thread for each badge to ask questions.

I think that if the BB is a bit light, then ask in that thread.  Otherwise, maybe start a new thread.
